Profiler Panel

Sharkable provides a built-in lightweight profiler panel at /_sharkable/profiler (configurable). Tracks request counts, average latency, and the top-N slowest recent requests.

Quick Start

builder.Services.AddShark(opt =>
{
    opt.ConfigureProfiler(p => p.TopSlowRequests = 10);
});

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseShark();

Navigate to /_sharkable/profiler:

{
  "uptime": "02:34:12",
  "totalRequests": 2847,
  "avgLatencyMs": 12.3,
  "topSlow": [
    {
      "method": "POST",
      "path": "/api/orders/create",
      "statusCode": 200,
      "elapsedMs": 234,
      "memoryDeltaBytes": 4096,
      "at": "2026-06-28T14:30:00.0000000+00:00"
    }
  ]
}

Configuration

opt.ConfigureProfiler(p =>
{
    // Endpoint path. Default: "/_sharkable/profiler"
    p.Endpoint = "/_sharkable/profiler";

    // Max slow requests to track. Default: 20
    p.TopSlowRequests = 10;

    // Max ring buffer entries. Default: 1000
    p.MaxEntries = 1000;
});

Tracked Metrics

Metric	Description
uptime	Application uptime since first request
totalRequests	Total request count since startup
avgLatencyMs	Average response time in milliseconds
topSlow	Top-N slowest recent requests (up to 1000 buffered)

Each slow request entry includes: HTTP method, path, status code, elapsed ms, memory delta (bytes), and timestamp.

Performance

• Ring buffer limited to 1000 entries
• Lock-free reads via ConcurrentQueue
• Zero allocation overhead on the hot path
• Profiler endpoint auto-excluded from OpenAPI/Scalar docs

Access Control

The profiler endpoint is not protected by default. In production, restrict access via middleware or environment checks:

if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
    opt.ConfigureProfiler(p => { });
